At this time, the background male said a sentence that resonated widely: What we crave most in this world is connection
. Being a stranger alone in a foreign land, in a city without relatives or friends, you will go to great lengths to establish a new connection, or do everything possible to maintain the old connection. At least, I am.
Yesterday I also talked to my friends at the same window that we are only in different districts of the same city. Chongqing is not as complicated as the transportation system of Beijing and Shanghai. It takes half a day to get from A to B. But even so, we didn't see each other for a few months. So I predicted with her that the chance of us meeting is once every six months, after she gets married about once a year, when she has a child about once every 2-3 years, and if I leave Chongqing about once every 5-8 years. It sounds a bit exaggerated, but based on the current verified situation, this is only the most conservative estimate.
Now there are so many and convenient means of contact, mobile phones can be used to access the Internet at any time, QQ can be online 24 hours a day, chat tools, community websites, so many ways and means of connection, the distance between people is getting farther and farther. We see each other online every day, but we rarely take the initiative to speak to each other. My phone is quiet every day except for work. So I will look through the number book on the way back after work overtime to see which friend hasn’t contacted for a long time and chat about the current situation casually.
However, there are people in this category whose mobile phones are completely decorative. Although their mobile phones are also trendy brands and have beautiful looks, they lose their most basic functions. Unfortunately, some of my best friends fall into this category.
Calling them will never be able to get through, either it is powered off, not in the service area, or there is no answer forever. Either you didn't bring it, in most cases, you can't hear it in your bag. Sometimes I am also very puzzled, since you don't answer text messages or call, why do you need a mobile phone? The other party is plausible, and I use it to find others. It suddenly became clear that their mobile phones were not used to be found, but to find others. Of course, they still have to add a scarf.
So, you can only pray that she happened to have her mobile phone in her hand when she called them. The odds are basically the same as winning the lottery. Normally, you hear the CRBT played dozens of times and no one answers it. If you send a text message quickly, it will reply the next day, and if it is slow, it will not reply. Over and over again, it is inevitable to be disappointed. If things go on like this, the enthusiasm for contact will inevitably be hit. So, to avoid disappointment, I can only call as few as possible. Since they have nothing to look for me, then I don't look for them either.
Just like The Cardigans sings repeatedly in Communication, I've seen you & I've known you, but I don't know how to connect, so I disconnect.
